Description

Dicalcium L-Leucinate is a high-purity, organically-bound calcium salt of the essential amino acid L-Leucine. This compound is specifically engineered to provide a bioavailable source of calcium and leucine, offering synergistic benefits for nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, dietary supplement, and advanced pharmaceutical industries seeking to enhance product efficacy with a stable, well-tolerated ingredient.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: As a dual-source ingredient providing both bioavailable calcium and the branched-chain amino acid L-Leucine for bone health, muscle support, and metabolic formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of specialized peptide-based drugs and advanced therapeutic agents requiring a protected or modified amino acid form.
• Clinical Nutrition: A key component in medical and sports nutrition products, such as meal replacements and medical foods, designed for patients with increased protein and mineral requirements.
• Food Fortification: Employed in functional food and beverage applications to enrich products with calcium and amino acids without compromising taste or stability.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into high-end skincare formulations for its potential skin-conditioning and buffering properties.
• Research & Development: Serves as a critical reagent in biochemical research, metabolic studies, and the development of new delivery systems for minerals and amino acids.

Quality Control

Our Dicalcium L-Leucinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and microbiological limits are available upon request, supporting compliance with cGMP and relevant food/pharmaceutical guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
